Homemade Beer Mustard
  • Author: Mari Williams

In this recipe, yellow and black mustard seeds come together with beer, cider vinegar, and a touch of honey to create a bold and flavorful homemade mustard. The seeds are soaked in beer overnight, allowing them to soften and absorb the rich flavors. With a hint of heat from crushed chili and a warm undertone of mace or nutmeg, this mustard is perfect for adding a zesty kick to your favorite dishes. Once blended to a smooth consistency, it's ready to be spooned into sterilized jars, creating a delicious condiment that will surely impress your taste buds.

  • 175g/6oz yellow mustard seeds
  • 175g/6oz black mustard seeds
  • 500ml/18fl oz beer
  • 1 tbsp sea salt
  • pinch crushed chilli
  • 175ml/6fl oz cider vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • 6 tbsp runny honey

  • Stir in the remaining ingredients, then blend in a food processor until nearly smooth (you may need to do this is batches).
  • Spoon the mustard into the sterilised jars; tap gently to remove all the air bubbles.
